[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1833645, member: 110816"] A device will ask to renew an IP address that it's already been given and when that fails, it will take a new address given by the router. However, if non initial IP address could be had and it was using the self-assigned IP address, it will always have to request a new IP address. SSID and IP address subnets are not related and devices remember previous SSIDs (and associated passwords) they've connected to, but not the previous IP addresses they've had. On the OTHER hand, routers will keep a list of MAC addresses and IPs assigned to those addresses and if a request comes from a known MAC address and the IP address which was previously given has been given out, the router will hand back the same IP. So on home networks, the minimal number of devices will tend to get the same IP addresses even over DHCP (even if the lease time is short). [/QUOTE]
